Soothe a Sore Throat

snow, winter, footwear, human positions, sitting, For me, nothing is worse than the pain and discomfort of having a sore throat. The heat in a mug of tea in itself is soothing as you sip it down. However, experts say that licorice root tea is especially beneficial for soothing the pain of a sore throat. Make sure the brew isn’t too hot so you don’t burn your tongue or make the pain in your throat worse. Too cold and the tea won’t have the same benefits, so don’t let it cool off too much either.
